Beat This! - May 11-12, 2016

Signups still open? That's a shame. It was a difficult challenge but I thought members here would appreciate it. There's a reason why a no themed competition fills up in minutes(?), people only wanna post their shit like it's a glorified showcase thread. IMO
@Fade you should have more themed competitions. we didn't have any with acapellas in a while, just a thought...

I think it should be the case for every beat this comp. Let the no themed battle be warzone.

Anyway, does this mean the comp is cancelled or postponed?

Found a few errors on my entry that i want to work on.

 

[Fade]

Here are the beats! The results will be posted tonight.

Listen to the beats:

[Fade]

Results! Props to all those that entered and to the judges for taking the time to vote https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-this-competition/archives/?d=2016-05-12

I think Cherish's beat was definitely at the top on this one. I know it was a tough theme since the drum break has no hats or other type of percussion in it but that's the challenge of it.

 

[tomkillsjerry]

exactly what i thought would happen happened all the tracks have no motion. im gonna upload mine to soundscloud i sampled the guitars from stroke me and chopped them up with it.

 

[Fade]

True, there's no motion but I think everyone did a solid job with it.

My thought with this theme was to see how creative everyone could be. Like years ago when all we had was a 4-track and a drum machine or whatever.

 

[tomkillsjerry]

@Fade yea I feel you. I'm just bitchin about nothin I just quit smoking so I kinda hate everything haha don't mind me.

 

[Mike Free Music]

The toughness of it all is what what made this it great. You have no choice but to be creative to make something nice with only certian elements.

 

[Mike Free Music]

Cherish's track was the nicest in the land. IMO he took and old staple hip hoop loop and updated to the present music feel. Pretty good job yo.

 

[Mike Free Music]

I think there was some cool tracks in this battle.

 

[Fade]

I find it's much simpler to not have themes but I know themes make it more interesting. Someone just mentioned an acapella. That's always tough.

What would you guys like to have for the next theme?

 

[tomkillsjerry]

Pick a movie soundtrack to sample from

What about "_____Type beat"?pick a producer or artist that the beat should sound like.

 

[Spuntastic]

I second that shit
got some dope original scores on my mp3-player I didn't find the time to sample from, yet. If you consider this, I can throw in some ideas Fade.

Nice beats everyone

 

[Mike Free Music]

I like the movie soundtrack idea also. Tv or cartoon show theme music.

 

[Fade]

Yeah movie soundtrack would be dope. Something new or old? The Untouchables?

 

[tomkillsjerry]

definitely something old. the untouchables has alot of really good stuff to sample

 

[Spuntastic]

just some ideas:
The Great Silence [Il grande silenzio]
Keoma
Dirty Harry
Miller's Crossing
Blood Simple
The Man Who Wasn't There [almost anything by Carter Burwell]
Snowpiercer
In Bruges
